About the host

Hosted by Swanage Holiday Properties

Host profile image
I’m a Swanage local who’s spent years helping guests discover the best of our little seaside town. I love creating spaces that feel warm, easy, and thoughtfully put together — the kind of place where you can drop your bags, exhale, and immediately feel on holiday. Hosting isn’t just a job for me; it’s a chance to share the charm, character, and coastline I get to enjoy every day.

Whether you’re here for beach days, coastal walks, steam trains, or simply slowing down by the sea, I’m always happy to help with recommendations, local tips, or anything you need to make your stay smooth and memorable.

Why they chose this property

Swanage has a way of getting under your skin — in the best possible way. I chose this area because it blends everything I love about the Dorset coast: a sandy beach, a friendly town centre, and miles of dramatic coastline all within a few steps of each other. There’s a real charm to waking up to the sound of gulls, watching boats drift in and out, and having the South West Coast Path right on your doorstep.

The Slipway sits in one of Swanage’s most iconic spots, where you can wander to the pier, grab fish and chips, hop on the steam train, or simply sit by the water and watch the world go by. It’s a place that feels both peaceful and full of life — and that’s exactly why I chose it.

What makes this property unique

The Slipway sits in one of Swanage’s most iconic spots — just moments from the beach, the pier, and the town’s independent cafés and shops. Everything you need for a classic seaside break is right on your doorstep, from morning swims to coastal walks to easy evenings wandering along the seafront. Guests love how effortless it feels to stay here, with the best of Swanage only a few steps away.
